I really enjoyed working on this quilt. I used the Del Hi pattern from Free Spirit fabric along with the fabrics by Valori Wells. I have always really loved her collections. This quilt was not for me, and I hope so much that it's new owner loves it. I quilted a mum type pattern in all the strips and then butterflies in the cross section. The finished size is about 68 x 89 inches. The original pattern was for an 80 x 80 throw and I modified it to fit a twin sized bed. I love being able to change things about ready made patterns to fit what I need. I have to say again, I love how it turned out.

I have always loved Valori's fabrics too, but never find them in the shops. This quilt is really gorgeous! Love the colors and the quilting.
Hi Jill,
I love your fabric choices and quilting. Did you quilt this on your home machine? Thanks for visiting me and leaving a sweet comment!
Have a happy weekend,

This is so colorful! I really like that crosswise piece!
Turned out great! I wish I could see your quilting pattern better, but from what I can see it's really neat.
Your quilting is always really interesting -- a departure from my normal stippling or scrolling. I love how this turned out. Lucky Sanae!
